About This Quiz

How much do you know about homeostasis? Homeostasis alludes to the ability of an organism or environment to maintain stability despite adversity and change. The human body’s internal body temperature is an excellent example of homeostasis. Homeostasis also helps us fight off infection and get back to a healthy balance. Take this quiz and see how much you know about homeostasis.

    Would breast-feeding be a negative feedback mechanism?

    Explanation
    Breast-feeding is not a negative feedback mechanism because it does not involve the regulation or control of a physiological process in response to a change in a variable. Negative feedback mechanisms typically work to maintain homeostasis by counteracting any deviations from a set point. Breast-feeding is a natural process where a mother provides nourishment to her baby through her breast milk, which is not regulated by feedback mechanisms.

    When we are in homeostasis, we are ________.

    • Gay, Lesbian

    • Not healthy, not in our normal state.

    • Staying at home.

    • Healthy, in our normal state.

    • Dead, deceased.

    Correct Answer
    A. Healthy, in our normal state.
    Explanation
    When we are in homeostasis, it means that our body is maintaining a stable internal environment, with all physiological processes functioning properly. This includes maintaining a stable body temperature, blood pressure, pH levels, and other vital functions. Being in homeostasis indicates that we are healthy and in our normal state, as our body is able to regulate and balance its internal conditions effectively.

    Homeostasis is achieved by a ________  _______  mechanism. (two words)

    Correct Answer
    negative feedback
    Explanation
    Homeostasis is a process in which the body maintains a stable internal environment. It is achieved through a mechanism known as negative feedback. Negative feedback is a regulatory mechanism that works to counteract any changes from the body's set point. It detects any deviations from the desired state and activates responses to bring the body back to equilibrium. This helps to maintain stability and balance within the body's systems.

    Which two organ systems do we need to maintain homeostasis? Include "and" between your answers.

    Correct Answer
    nervous and endocrine
    nervous system and endocrine system
    endocrine and nervous
    endocrine system and nervous system
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the nervous system and the endocrine system. These two organ systems work together to maintain homeostasis in the body. The nervous system uses electrical signals to quickly transmit messages between different parts of the body, while the endocrine system uses hormones to regulate various bodily functions. Together, they help to regulate temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, and other important physiological processes to keep the body in balance.

    We need        organ systems to maintain homeostasis.

    Correct Answer
    2
    two
    Two
    Explanation
    The question states that we need "organ systems" to maintain homeostasis. The answer options provided are "2", "two", and "Two". Both "2" and "two" are numerical representations of the number 2, while "Two" is the written form of the number 2. Since the question is asking for a numerical representation, the correct answer is either "2" or "two".

    Homeostasis is the ability of the body to maintain a ______  ________  ___________. (three words)

    Correct Answer
    stable internal environment
    Explanation
    Homeostasis refers to the body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment. This means that the body can regulate and balance various physiological processes such as temperature, pH levels, and blood sugar levels to ensure optimal functioning. By maintaining a stable internal environment, the body can adapt to changes in the external environment and maintain overall health and well-being.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Negative feedback occurs when the body is ___________. (one word)

    Correct Answer
    threatened
    distressed
    Explanation
    Negative feedback occurs when the body is threatened or distressed. In both situations, the body perceives a potential danger or harm, triggering a stress response. This response involves the release of stress hormones like cortisol, which help the body prepare for fight or flight. Negative feedback mechanisms are activated to restore homeostasis and counteract the stress response. These mechanisms work to regulate various physiological processes and bring the body back to a balanced state.
